The language of chemistry class 7 Basic science soled questions.
Q. What is chemistry?
Ans: Chemistry is a branch of science in which we study the composition, structure, properties and change of matter.
Q. What is matter?
Ans: Anything that is around us having some mass and occupies space is called matter.
Q. What are the different classifications of matter?
Ans: Matters are classified into element, compound and mixture.
Q. What is element?
Ans: Elements are the purest form of substance (matter) made up of same kinds of particles. The smallest unit of element is an atom. eg. Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon.

A. Answer
these questions
1. What does the formula of a substance tell
us?
Answer: Formula of a compound or an element
represents the name and number of atoms present in one molecule of that
compound or element.
2. What do you mean by valancy of an element?
Answer: The number of electrons that can be
donated, accepted or shared by an atom of an element during a chemical reaction
is equal to the valency of that element. Thus the combining capacity of an atom
is called its valancy.
3. What is a radical?
Answer: A compound radical is a group of two
or more elements that acts as a single atom in a chemical reaction.
4. Name two elements having variable valancy. Give the name and formulae of compounds formed byeach of these element.
Answer: Two elements having variable valency
and compounds formed by them are as follows:
(i) Copper (Cu):
(a) Cuprous oxide [Copper (I) oxide] − Cu2O
(b)
Cupric oxide [Copper(II)oxide] − CuO
(ii) Iron (Fe): (a) Ferrous oxide [Iron(II)oxide] − FeO
(b) Ferric oxide
[Iron(III)oxide] − Fe2O3
5. What is balance equations? Why should
a equation be balanced?
Answer: A reaction is in which the number of
atoms on the side of the products is equal to the number of atoms on the side
of the reactants is called a balanced chemical. This is known as law of the
conservation of mass given by Antoine
Lavoisier's 1789. We balance a
chemical reaction to represent this fact.

C. What are compound radicals? Give examples
of a few radicals, along with their valancies. Also mention some compound
containing compound radicals. Give the valancies of the part that make up the
compound?
Answer: Compound radical is a group of atoms
of different elements that behave as an intact unit during a chemical reaction.
Atoms in a compound radical do not break apart revealing the individual atoms
but remain together forming an intact group of atoms having a valency. This
unit behaves just like an atom or a molecule during a reaction.
Some compound radicals with their valencies
are given below:
Compound Radical Valency
OH 1
SO4 2
NO3

CO3 2

D. Complete the following
Answer :
1. A symbol is an abbreviation of the name of
an element.
2. A molecule of an element or a compound is
represented by its formula.
3. The valencies of the two elements of a
binary compound are transposed to obtain its formula.
4. Atoms are neither lost nor gained in a
chemical reaction.
E.Choose the correct options
1. Which of the following is the symbol of
gold?
C.
Au
2. Which of the following is a divalent
radical
(c)
Sulphate
3. The vaancy of sulphur in sulphur dioxide
(d)
4
4.How many times greater is the valency of N
in NH3 than that of Cl in HCl
(b)
3
Valency of N in NH3 is 3, whereas the valency
of Cl in HCl is 1.
Hence, the valency of
N in NH3 is three times greater than that of Cl in HCl.

1. True. The valency of hydrogen is 1.
2. True. The valency of oxygen is 2.
3. False. Symbol of iron is Fe.
4. True. The symbol of silver is Ag.
5. False. Calcium chloride is CaCl2.
